Mentegram for Primary Care Providers

Mental Illness in Primary Care

Due to a variety of factors, Primary Care Physicians are becoming increasingly involved in the treatment of mental illness. Most patients are initially diagnosed with mental illness in the primary care setting and a majority of Primary Care Providers prescribe psychiatric medications and provide counseling services to their patients.

Patient Screening Encouraged

Many Primary Care Physicians associated with Medical Homes and Accountable Care Organizations have been encouraged to include Mental Health and Substance Abuse screening as part of their practice. Mentegram is uniquely suited to streamline this process.

Mentegram Improves Efficiency

With Mentegram’s easy-to-use technology, patients are screened for behavioral health conditions upon arriving for their appointments. Mentegram’s electronic treatment reminders are helpful for patients with mental health conditions as well as other chronic medical illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and asthma for increasing medication adherence.
